? Pittsburgh Steelers strong safety DeShon Elliott took a shot at his former team the Miami Dolphins during an appearance on the Punch Line Podcast with Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey.
Elliott was with the Ravens from 2018-2021 before joining the Detroit Lions in 2022 and the Miami Dolphins in 2023. Last year in Miami, Elliott lost to the Ravens, 56-19. He expects a closer game this time around.
“This will be fun. This will be very fun. I haven’t been able to play against Baltimore the way I wanted to because last year I played for a team that was soft as f***,” Elliott told Humphrey. “There was some guys who were tough, but for like the majority of the team (they were) not mentally tough individuals. So to be on a team with a full team of mentally tough guys against another mentally tough team. AFC North ball. This is going to be fun.”
Dolphins cornerback Kader Kohou ripped Elliott for taking a shot at Miami.
“He’s not here for a reason, obviously. I don’t know why he would go on a podcast and say anything crazy like that,” Kohou said, via David Furones of the Sun Sentinel. “If that’s how he feels, that’s how he feels. He could have went on the podcast and said what he wanted to say without trying to throw shots at us. I feel like, when he leaves the Steelers and goes to another team, he’ll probably do the same thing. I got no respect for it. I didn’t think DeShon was the toughest guy.”
Deshon Elliot did not hold back, referring to his time with the Dolphins. ⬇️

Sneaky good play here by Keanu Benton on the QB Draw at the 2min warning… Daniels might've picked up another 15-20yds here and been in FG range.
Next 3 plays to end game were Watt pressure, incomplete to Brown, Ertz just short on 4th Down. pic.twitter.com/arrpd0aeIR
